from another perspective? For example in the patriarchal culture in
Turkey. From a woman's point of view. When she gets to put on a fake
mustache. This article has been on the website for a while, but
buried in the Significant Other's section. Maybe it will be read more
here. Originally from Nerve Magazine.

One more article in what I hope will be a good collection on women
cross-dressing. This time the American Civil War. Both then and for
reinactors. It's worth noting how easily we accept that women cross dress
to do things that men do, whether its fight, doctor or play jazz like Billy

"I thought it finer to go to bed under the stars, with a
log fire
for a lullaby, and get up to the shrieking of parrots the next morning,
than to have everything that's enjoyed by a rich man's daughter."

An Australian biographical article about a woman
cross-living, for reasons of access to better jobs and higher pay. Bill
apparently never thought of herself as a man, but simply lived as one for
reasons of economics and security. The Bill Edwards Story.
